Our FAQ
ASTM F2004 measures heat flow (energy changes), while ASTM F2082 measures physical displacement. F2082 is often preferred for thin wires and small-diameter tubes because it better reflects the mechanical behavior of the finished product.
We primarily test wires, tubes, thin plates, and finished components (such as stents). The geometry must allow for reproducible bending deformation.
Yes, although the main focus is on identifying point Af, the analysis also allows us to identify the onset temperatures of austenite (As), as well as the martensitic phases (Ms, Mf) and the R phase.
